Network audio/video performance is significantly deteriorated due to the media player connected to an active modem/switch is a transmission hatch for high-frequency noise. Furthermore, invasion noise is also mixed in through the internet line which remarkably degrades the sound quality. With normal computer use such as e-mailing or surfing the internet, the high-frequency noise has no influence on the user experience. However, high-frequency noise that enters directly into the digital audio device through Ethernet is very undesirable. This influences purity in the high, which causes the space information to become blurred.
MI-310 has succeeded in cutting the transmission noise to an extremely low level via the combination of an Isolation transformer and choke coil for common-mode noise. In addition to this, by designing for the audiophile approach, MI-310 does not generate side effects such as the feeling of energy loss and reduced dynamics.
The MI-310 will ensure that the sound/video is less smudged, making details more audible, providing a better sound stage and a black background which in turn increases the dynamics in an audio/video system.
The EverStar MI-310 Gigabit Ethernet data isolator provides IEEE802.3 compliant return loss and insertion loss performance while meeting the most stringent isolation requirements.
The MI-310 Ethernet isolator can be connected in either direction,the source input signal cable can be connected to any side of MI-300
If you could NOT hear the improvement in sound quality after plugging the device into your network. You may NOT need to send it back immediately, pls consider to allow this device to pass data (burn-in) two to three weeks before it performs the audio optimally
Compact size, full metallic housing, In line plug and play, maintenance free
Audio is very vulnerable to noise. There are many types of noise that adversely affect sound quality, but the ones that have the greatest impact on computer streaming are EMI, RFI, and impulse noise .
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is unwanted noise or interference in an electrical path or circuit caused by an outside source. It is also known as radio frequency interference. EMI can be caused by natural or human-made sources. Using high quality electronics, electrical shielding, and modern error correction can reduce the impact of EMI.
A common example of EMI is when a cellphone is placed near powered audio equipment or speakers, and it causes a noise or series of beeps to be heard.
The MI-310 is the Metallic Housing, it is for the audiophile who may concern the interference from the air, EMI shielding is a material that prevents electromagnetic interference. It consists of a metallic screen that absorbs the interference transmitted through the air.
The metallic housing of EM-310 provides the EMI shielding, it shield well for wide range frequencies, typically in the kHz range up to the lower GHz range.
Ethernet Isolator place a physical barrier between your audio DAC and the LAN. Only data can travel across this barrier through the coupling of magnetic fields. Audio noise are blocked.
Audiophile Ethernet cables dont electrically separate the connected equipment - the noise interference created by a LAN can travel through the audiophile Ethernet cables to audio DAC causing the space information to become blurred.
Isolators eliminate the wire connections directly that audiophile Ethernet cables dont.
